Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 water/aqua/eau Plain old water
2 arginine An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin
3 salicylic acid Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)
4 lactobacillus/papaya fruit ferment extract
5 moringa oleifera leaf water, moringa oleifera seed extract
6 eucalyptus globulus leaf water
7 chlorella ferment
8 paeonia suffruticosa root extract
9 scutellaria baicalensis root extract A plant extract that might contain a compound baicalin that could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals and reducing inflammation in skin. The baicalin concentration in skincare products is often too low for an effective action. Can be used for its fragrant properties
10 lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)
11 glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
12 butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
13 xylitylglucoside Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrier function
14 anhydroxylitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrir function
15 xylitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrier function
16 leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate A preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria. New research suggests that the preservation properties in the ingredient come from an ammonium salt that is not present naturally in radish root but used in its cultivation. Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine
17 gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting inimporved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals
18 maltodextrin Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil
19 glucose Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function
20 potassium sorbate A preservative
21 sodium benzoate A preservative
